Letting Go
Joshua
became as a lamb,
sacrificed in sorrow,
showering freedom
across the lands.
When faced with fear
walk into it with courage--
eyes observing,
voice steady,
heart opening.
Life arrives,
life passes,
death is but a door to life.
The lamb cries with grateful release,
the lion roars with ferocious freedom--
letting go of survival,
life is born anew.

Hi everyone. I am not real comfortable with the "sacrificial lamb" imagery in this poem, and I can't remember what inspired this poem (I wrote it about a week ago). I think I might have been thinking about suffering and the desire to transcend it. Anyways, upon re-read, I thought I would go ahead and post it, notwithstanding the sad lamb thing.
